I like photography, but never had the chance to start shooting seriously, till I manage to get a review unit of the Canon EOS 500D. Granted, it’s an entry-level dslr, but it still gave me great shots.

The body of the 500D weighs in at about 480g, and plus the lens, about 800g (this is my rough estimate). The lens that came with the review unit is the EF-S18-55mm, and I had a lot of fun shooting with this particular lens.

I must say that the feel of the camera feels good in my hands, and very easy to grip.

There you go, some of my shots that was shot with the 500D. I have loads more, but will share them with you next time

My final words? I like the 500D, in terms of ease of handling and usage of the camera, though I would love to have more variety in white balance settings. But overall, the camera didn’t disappoint.

Oh yes, many thanks to Canon and Glenn from Ogilvy, for making this review opportunity possible.
